Just as a charging Rhino has the force of a military tank, our bars are nothing less as impressive. Rhino bars are only constructed with the most heavy duty superalloys. We believe the product must match the name, that why we chose to only use metals that currently undergo the most strenuous tasks.

Construction - How It's Made:
We rely on the fact that ‘aircraft tubing’ is the most solid choice to form our bars from to undergo years of rigorous usage under constant strain. Our metal alloys used are classified as 42CrMo Minnesota Steel (41xx). This is a family of SAE steel grades, as specified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Alloying elements include chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo), and as a result these materials are often informally referred to as chromoly steel. They have an excellent strength to weight ratio and are considerably stronger and harder than standard 1020 steel found in most other bars.

The Science:
Superalloys develop high temperature strength through solid solution strengthening. The most important strengthening mechanism is through the formation of secondary phase precipitates such as gamma prime and carbides through precipitation strengthening. Oxidation and corrosion resistance is provided by the formation of a thermal barrier coating (TBC), which forms when the metal is exposed to oxygen and encapsulates the material, thus protecting the rest of the component. Oxidation or corrosion resistance is provided by elements such as chromium and molybdenum.
